PRIMUS_SYNC=2 seems get rid of the flickering with MSAA. Framerate is halved though. And yes, I'm running gnome-shell.

Btw, no luck with Cinnamon 2D. Still flickers. Will Primus be able to do flicker-free MSAA 4x eventually with that added variable?

Flickering was present with stock 12.10 graphics stack as well as xorg-edgers (pretty much git of everything). Kernels tested were 3.5 and 3.7-rc4.

"We use virtualbox, so never tested it with vmware." That's not very encouraging. I'd like to use Antergos at work, but this is a dealbreaker. I really have no good...
